Maybe. What I'd like to see but can't find in ten minutes of googling is a combination of these charts https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/housing-statistics/county-median-home-prices-and-monthly-mortgage-payment https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/housing-stat... https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/2014-2018-median-household-income-by-county.html https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/20... So that I could see a median income / housing cost ratio by county. I still think the main reason that people aren't moving into these small counties with cheap housing though is that nobody wants to live there. By many metrics they're not pleasant places to live.
